The Hungarian capital's charm lies in the many cultural influences that affected the city during its long history. If you are looking for the idea "insta," Budapest should be your on your list of cities when visiting Europe. Often described as the "Little Paris of Middle Europe," Budapest architecture is sure to catch your eye.

Budapest has a lot to offer. Museums and galleries, churches and synagogues, palaces and historic buildings, baths and pools. Hungary is the land of thermal springs. Thousands of years ago it was rumored that the baths would bring "eternal youth" to its users. Now, they serve primarily as iconic tourist destinations. The largest and most famous thermal bath is called Szechenyi. Another hot spot is the Parliament building, which you could not miss when visiting Budapest.
